Logistica OS Raises €1.5M Pre-Seed to Automate Supply Chain Workflows with AI
Berlin‑based logistics technology startup Logistica OS has raised €1.5 million in a pre‑seed funding round to build its AI‑powered operating system for supply chains and accelerate the development of automation tools aimed at one of Europe’s most under‑digitised sectors. The funding will support product development, early commercialisation efforts, and expansion of the team as the company works to streamline repetitive operational workflows in logistics.
The pre‑seed round was led by NAP, with participation from Daphni and a group of angel investors including Javier de la Fuente, Nono Konopka, Daniel Khachab, Andrew Shaw, Jonas Meynert, Tony Kula, and Hermann Ude. This mix of venture capital and experienced individual backers reflects confidence in Logistica OS’s vision to bring high-impact AI automation to a €10‑trillion‑plus industry that still relies heavily on manual processes.
Founded in 2025 by Flavio Alario, Kenan Deniz, and Florian Lehmann, Logistica OS is tackling entrenched inefficiencies in logistics operations by developing a suite of AI agents that automate repetitive, back‑office tasks. The company’s initial product, PalletClaim, addresses a common challenge faced by supply chain teams: reconciling pallet balances between partners. PalletClaim uses proprietary Optical Character Recognition (OCR) models trained on real-world delivery documents to read handwritten delivery slips, extract essential data, and automatically update pallet accounts. This automated approach can cut manual workload by up to 80 percent and reduces the risk of error associated with traditional spreadsheet-based workflows.
In its short operating period, Logistica OS’s PalletClaim tool has already demonstrated real-world traction by processing more than 100,000 delivery slips per month, demonstrating the platform’s ability to rapidly interpret and manage complex document formats that vary widely between customers and delivery sites. This capability is notable in a sector where fewer than 40 percent of workflows are fully digital and where an estimated €50 billion in value is lost annually due to inefficiencies, missing inventory, and administrative overhead.
The startup’s broader vision is to extend its platform beyond pallet reconciliation to automate additional repetitive processes such as delivery claims, credit notes, and invoice matching. Logistica OS’s flexible workflow builder is designed to adapt to each customer’s unique operational context, enabling scalable automation even in multi-partner supply chain environments. All data processing is performed on EU-hosted infrastructure to ensure strict compliance with regional data privacy standards, an important factor for enterprise customers operating across borders.
The funding round will also help Logistica OS expand its support for more than 100 companies over the next two years, enabling logistics teams to reduce administrative burden, improve accuracy, and enhance communication between partners. By automating repetitive workflows, the company aims to free up human teams to focus on higher-value tasks and improve overall operational performance.
Investors backing Logistica OS have emphasised the strategic importance of bringing modern AI tools to logistics, a sector that underpins economic activity across manufacturing, retail, distribution, and transportation but has historically lagged in technology adoption. NAP and Daphni’s participation signals confidence in the startup’s founders and its ability to deliver practical solutions that can generate measurable efficiency gains quickly.
Logistica OS’s founders bring both deep logistics expertise and AI engineering knowledge to the challenge. Alario has previous experience in logistics and digital forwarding, and together with Deniz and Lehmann, the team has focused on translating real operational pain points into software that can handle messy, variable data and workflows. This hands-on understanding of logistics challenges has helped shape the company’s first products and positions it well to expand its suite of AI agents over time.
The company’s platform aims to make immediate business impact by reducing manual work, lowering the cost of equipment losses such as pallets, and providing supply chain teams with real-time transparency into load carrier balances across partners. Early user feedback suggests that the automation tools can significantly improve both administrative efficiency and operational coordination.
As global supply chains continue to face pressure from labour shortages, rising costs, and growing demand for digital transformation, Logistica OS’s early funding positions it to be part of a new wave of technology companies driving logistics innovation. By focusing on AI-driven automation for repetitive tasks, the startup is helping logistics teams move away from spreadsheets and manual reconciliation toward streamlined, digitised processes that support more resilient and responsive operations.
Looking ahead, Logistica OS plans to use its pre‑seed funding to refine its products, grow its team, and deepen engagement with customers across Europe as it works to expand adoption of AI agents that can transform supply chain workflows at scale.
